===French Vietnamese===
The Vietnamese in France are the most well-established [[overseas Vietnamese]] community outside eastern Asia, as well as [[Asian French|Asian ethnic group in France]], with roughly 139,000 Vietnamese immigrants living in France.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2014-02-10|title=Immigrant and Emigrant Populations by Country of Origin and Destination|url=https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/immigrant-and-emigrant-populations-country-origin-and-destination|access-date=2021-04-12|website=migrationpolicy.org|language=en}}</ref> While the level of integration among immigrants and their place in French society have become prominent issues in France in the past decade, French media and politicians generally view the Vietnamese community as a model minority.<ref name=vietnamienne>{{cite web |url=http://www.tinparis.net/fr_societe/diaspora_viet.html |title=La diaspora vietnamienne |publisher=Tinparis.net |access-date=2015-02-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303220959/http://www.tinparis.net/fr_societe/diaspora_viet.html |archive-date=2016-03-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref> This is in part because they are represented as having a high degree of integration within French society, in addition to their economic and academic success. A survey in 1988 asking French citizens which immigrant ethnic group they believe to be the most integrated in French society saw the Vietnamese ranked fourth, behind only the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese communities.<ref name=vietnamienne />

The educational attainment rate of the Vietnamese population in France is the highest among overseas Vietnamese populations, a legacy that dates back to the [[French Indochina|colonial era of Vietnam]], when privileged families and those with connections to the colonial government often sent their children to France to study.<ref name=vietnamienne /> In addition to high achievement in education, the Vietnamese population in France is also largely successful economically. When the first major wave of Vietnamese migrants arrived in France during [[World War I]], a number of migrants already held professional occupations in their new country shortly after their arrival. More recently, refugees who arrived in France after the [[Fall of Saigon]] are often more financially stable than their counterparts who settled in North America, Australia and the rest of Europe, due to better linguistic and cultural knowledge of the host country, which allowed them to enter the education system and/or higher paying professions with little trouble.<ref name=diaspora>{{cite web |url=http://eglasie.mepasie.org/divers-horizons/1995-10-16-la-diaspora-vietnamienne-en-france-un-cas |title=La Diaspora Vietnamienne En France Un Cas Particulier: La Region Parisienne — Eglises D'Asie |publisher=Eglasie.mepasie.org |date=1995-10-16 |access-date=2015-02-24 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203000103/http://eglasie.mepasie.org/divers-horizons/1995-10-16-la-diaspora-vietnamienne-en-france-un-cas |archive-date=2013-12-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Within a single generation, the median income for French-born Vietnamese has risen above the French median income.<ref name=diaspora />
